Synopsis

Quote: DANCES WITH WOLVES tells the story of Lieutenant John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) who chooses a posting on the American Frontier and is soon accepted into a local Sioux tribe. The tribe names him "Dances with Wolves" and as time passes he falls in love with the beautiful "Stands with a Fist" (played by Mary McDonnell), a white woman adopted by the Sioux when her family was killed. John’s blissful new life is soon disrupted, however, when American soldiers advance on the frontier threatening the Sioux people. John is forced to make a decision that will not only affect him, but also the lives of those he now calls his people.

Congratulations on being the one thousandth and one thousand and first people to point out the Dances with Na'vi connection. Do we have anything for them in the way of prizes, Chris? Free blu-ray perhaps? lol

Agreed but in this case I'd really struggle to call it between Dances with Wolves and Goodfellas. Both are exceptional films.

Oddly The Departed is nowhere near Scorsese's best work. There are a slew of other films he should've won best director and picture for.

I haven't seen the extended cut, but I'm not a fan of the theatrical cut. I mean the acting is good, the film looks authentic, and I don't doubt was made with the best intentions. It's also occasionally humorous. The story is just the main weakness, I felt. It's even kinda predictable. But if people love the film, that's perfectly fine with me.
